I'm ready to celebrate a bit of spring and Easter with an EGGstravaganza of adorable embellishments for Easter and Spring. I have some darling Spring/Easter paper that I thought I'd use up. Gasp...I know! Actually use some papers from my stash? What a crazy idea.

So to balance out my crazy side, I thought I'd be sensible and shop for chipboard accents for the cards. BAM! I found the cutest Easter chipboard and veneer selection at

I've been playing with the newest releases at Spellbinders. This card features a die from the Sew Sweet collection by Tammy Tutterow. This is Part 2 of my posts using this die. You can see Part 1 here.

is fun, a bit quirky as it sits slightly off center and absolutely sweet ( as the name, Sew Sweet implies).

The off-centered nested hearts give the die collection such charm.

As you can see above, the collection comes with an assortment of dies for embellishing your projects. I took full advantage of this to add some darling vines and leaves to cluster around my simple layered flower.

I also used the banner die from the collection and layered that as well for shadowing.

3D cards and pop-up cards are all the rage. They are fun and unusual to make and even more fun to give. I imagine the surprise and the blooming smile that spreads upon the face of the person opening the card.

Do you enjoy making your own flowers? If you do, then I have a great set of dies that will help create perfect layers. Plus, they even have a hole pre-punched in the center to keep the flowers stacked perfectly. Worst part about flower making is punching the center holes.

Sometimes you have to make your own flowers - gorgeous flowers that match your project to perfection.

Spellbindersand Becca Feekenhave a great set of dies that will help create perfectly layered flowers that can be dimensional or flat. Bonus - they even have a hole pre-punched in the center to keep the flowers stacked perfectly. Worst part about flower making is punching the center holes.

I've been playing with the newest releases at Spellbinders. This card features a die from the Sew Sweet collection by Tammy Tutterow. I love love love it. This is Part 1 of my Sew Sweet post. You can see Part 2 here.

The die has a darling little 5 petal flower that I turned into a lilac. OK lilacs have 4 petals. All I can say is mine don't. You're just gonna have indulge my imagination.

Below is my version of a delicate lilac. A four petal beauty...until I create it from a 5-petaled flower. It's all about the imagination.

I'm quite happy with my quirky lilac. It looks lovely in my opinion.

I'm going to give this card to my mom for Mother's Day.

Where I live, we have a giant Lilac Festival in May when the bushes and trees are in bloom.

Custom flowers are easy to create and perfect to match your paper collections. I simply added black ink to the tips of my flowers for accent and to make them really pop against the card. I think the black accents keep them grounded toward the masculine side.
